Saw-Tri Sawtooth — Triangle mix
Pulse xx Pulse Wave, with pulse width ranging from minimum
(0) to maximum (99). The pulse width will turn off at the
two extremes — this allows some interesting
modulation possibilities. A square wave will be at Pulse
50.
Glide: 0…127 — Sets the oscillator glide (portamento) rate. Glide can be set
independently for each oscillator. Low values are faster. See “Glide Mode”
below in Miscellaneous Oscillator Parameters for additional Glide settings.
Keyboard: On, Off — Turns keyboard tracking for the oscillator on and off.
Sub Osc 1: 1...127 — Sub-oscillator 1 generates a square wave pitched one
octave below oscillator 1. This parameter controls the level.
Sub Osc 2: 1...127 — Sub-oscillator 2 generates a square wave pitched two
octaves below oscillator 2. This parameter controls the level.
Miscellaneous Oscillator Parameters
Sync 2-> 1: Off, On — Turns oscillator hard sync on. With sync on, whenever
oscillator 2 resets, it will force oscillator 1 to reset for the classic hard sync
sound.
Glide Mode: see table — Sets the way the oscillators respond to Glide settings.

FixRate The Glide rate is fixed. The time to
transition from one note to another varies
depending upon the interval between the
notes.
FixRate A The same, but Glide is only applied when
played legato; that is, when a new note is
hit while another note is still held.
FixTime The Glide time is fixed. The time to
transition from one note to another is the
same, regardless of the interval.
FixTime A The same, but Glide only is applied when
played legato; that is, when a new note is
hit while another note is still held.
Osc Slop: 0…5 — The amount of random oscillator frequency slop. The analog
oscillators in Tetra are very accurate, and will not drift. This works great for
